Julie Goodyear (Bet Lynch) buys the first ticket

For a limited time, starting April 5, the old Granada Studios will be open to the public for a guided tour of the Coronation Street sets, both indoors and out on the revered cobbles.

Coronation Street  – The Tour, will run from April 5  through to October 4 2014.

 

Tours will run throughout the day from 10am to 6pm (with extended hours at weekends and holidays).  From April 5 - 21, you can take the tour from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. After that, the evening tours will just be Saturdays and Sundays.

Visits will take between one and two hours and part of visit will include a guided tour on Stage One with selected sets and highlights from Corrie over the years then take time to walk the famous cobbles of the Street itself.

 

Studio guides will share with you fascinating facts and stories from over 50 years of filming at the former site. There will be a guest cafe and souvenir shops for you to enjoy as part of their “Behind the Scenes” visit.
